Yes, take a deep breath, because we’re here to tell you that being a solid rhythm player is way, way more important than burning up the fretboard. With that in mind, this month, TG’s mission is to help you to hone your skills as an accompanist and improve your timing and groove as we look at some of the tricks of the rhythm trade in five different styles of music.
